Intelligent, thought provoking......and zombies!

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 2002)

A british zombie film, an intelligent, well acted, thought provoking zombie film with an apocalyptic twist. It's mature, stunning, at times horrifically violent, at others astonishingly touching. All the actors are perfect (expect that one note little girl), the plot is unpredictable and with a powerful social message (note the name of the virus is called Rage, and is partly psychological). Danny Boyle's recent output hasn't been brilliant, although him off form is much better than most, but he really nailed it here with a script from Alex 'The beach' Garland. Oh and it's funny too, black British humour mind you. Remember 'The end is extremely f*cking nigh'.
9/10
